HINSDALE — The Hinsdale Humane Society offers two internship programs for those interested in working with animals and/or those interested in a veterinary medicine career.

In the HHS Internship Program, college undergraduates work alongside shelter staff and volunteer veterinarians to gain hands-on experience including: performing preliminary physical exams, administering vaccinations, administering medication to ill animals, handling difficult animals and offering solutions to behavioral problems.

Interns work 40 hours a week, including weekends, for three months. Upon completion of the internship, a $1,500 scholarship is awarded.
